Our Lord Jesus Does All Things Well

“They were astonished beyond measure, saying, ‘He has done all things well. He makes both the deaf to hear and the mute to speak.’” [1]

Our Lord Jesus is the One who did all things well through His servant Joseph.

“His [Joseph’s] master saw that the Lord was with him and that the Lord made all he did to prosper in his hand.” “… the Lord blessed the Egyptian’s house for Joseph’s sake; and the blessing of the Lord was on all that he had in the house and in the field.” “The Lord was with Joseph and showed him mercy, and He gave him favor in the sight of the keeper of the prison.” “The Lord was with him [Joseph]; and whatever he did, the Lord made it prosper.” [2]

Aligning one’s life with honoring and serving Messiah Jesus is the key to the victory in this world full of trials and setbacks. The Ark of the Covenant is a type of Christ in the Old Testament.

“The Ark of the Covenant of the Lord stayed in Obed-Edom's house for three months. And the Lord blessed Obed-Edom and all his family. The people told David, ‘The Lord has blessed the family of Obed-Edom. And all his things are blessed. This is because the Ark of the Covenant of God is there.’” [3]

The Prophet Jonah remarked, “He who forsakes the Lord forsakes his own tender mercies.” [4]

The Prophet Jeremiah remarked, “This I recall to my mind therefore I have hope. Through the Lord’s mercies we are not consumed, because His compassions fail not. They are new every morning; great is Your faithfulness. ‘The Lord is my portion,’ says my soul, ‘Therefore I hope in Him!’” [5]

The Apostle Paul described one of his trials as a thorn in his side. He wanted the Lord to remove it. The Lord said to him, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” [6]

The main thing is to live to worship and bring glory to Christ. Let Him live in and through you, and you will see Him do things well through your life.
